Does it have to be almost 70 degrees outside today and I am sick. I had grand plans of going to the gym and trying out some delicious new recipes on this MLK Jr. day, but I woke up with a cough, runny, nose, and that overall blah feeling. I’ve been resting all day and sleeping on and off so hopefully in a few hours I’ll feel well enough to take Ben on a nice long walk around the block. To help me feel better he piled all of his trains on top of me on the couch. Ya know, just what I need when I’m sick. Soup, lots of…

Homemade Cinnamon Sugar Donuts
Every Saturday is doughnut day in our house. I’m more of bagel person than a donut person but J and Ben love them. Usually we pick up our favorites, but a few weekends ago I decided to make my own. Although I’ve found lots of great recipes, a lot of them require homemade dough and I don’t want to go that far into it. Let’s face it, yeast scares me. Instead I turned to the next best thing. A semi homemade recipe that resulted in beautifully shaped doughnuts that didn’t quite taste like the traditional doughnut but were still enjoyable enough that J scarfed down 2. What You Need: –…

Wedding Wednesday-Engagement Pictures
Wedding countdown: 115 days. 115 days people! I know it’s getting close because the wedding dreams have started. I get married in jeans. I get my cake from the local grocery store. Last minute. And it only feeds 8 people. I cancel the wedding because the limo doesn’t show up. Let’s hope all of these things stay in my dreams. Things are progressing right along and as soon as our Save the Dates arrive they will be off in the mail. I realize it’s getting almost to the point of too late to send them out but I don’t care. It’s my wedding and I’ll do what I want:) And…

Weekend Recap
This weekend was the perfect mix of laziness and productivity. Friday night J had a work meeting that turned into happy hour so what’s Ben and I to do? We went for a little ice cream date to our favorite fro-yo place and soaked up the 50 degree weather while we could. Saturday I went to a spinning class at the gym and then we met up with Mrs. Bojangles for lunch. I forgot to snap a pic since I was trying to wrangle a tired, queso chugging monster. Saturday afternoon J’s mom picked up Ben for some quality bonding time and while J worked, I went to a delicious sushi dinner…

Harlem Globetrotters
Last night, thanks to a Groupon deal I scored a few weeks ago, we attended a Harlem Globetrotters game. What can I say about the Globetrotters? The only funny part was their mascot during a break. And the dance music they played. To an almost 3 year old it was such a fun time. Until half time which didn’t begin until 8:30pm and then the meltdown started which meant it was time to leave. Even though we thought it was really lame, this little face made it all worth it:) Notice the empty seats? Not a good sign. Have any of you seen the globetrotters? What did you think?
